الملخص	Embedded mixed methods meta-inference is the process of drawing a single, overarching conclusion by integrating the inferences from a dominant (primary) strand and an embedded (secondary) strand within an embedded mixed methods design. The embedded strand — typically qualitative nested inside a quantitative study, or vice versa — answers a supplemental question, and meta-inference synthesises both strands into one coherent interpretive claim that neither strand could produce alone.	The concurrent embedded mixed methods design collects quantitative and qualitative data at the same time, but assigns unequal priority to the two strands: one (usually quantitative) serves as the primary study, while the other (usually qualitative) is nested inside it to answer a supplementary question. The embedded strand does not stand alone; it provides a different perspective on the same phenomenon within a single unified study.
